Is it reassuring that Omicron doesn't cause severe illness? Does Omicron not cause loss of taste and smell?

Hi, I want to know that is it reassuring that omicron doesn't cause severe illness?

@wajid Hi Definitely reassuring because the data shows the disease is mild, there's hardly any fever, respiratory symptoms are mild, and oxygen/ICU requirement is not there. But we will have to wait and watch because hospitalizations are increasing in South Africa. As for your second question, it seems Omicron doesn't cause loss of smell and taste so much.
